Scalable, live transcoding with support for adaptive streaming and failover

摘要

A system and method for a live streaming platform that can redundantly process input streams in parallel ingestion pipelines is disclosed herein. Ingested input streams in the parallel pipelines can be segmented using a segmentation function that creates identical segments in each of the streams in the pipelines. If errors occur, or there are disruptions in one or more of the input streams or pipelines, the live streaming platform can ensure that segments are identifiable and different parts of the pipelines can join a main stream at different points in time without disruption.

1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores computer executable components; a processor that executes the following computer executable components stored in the memory:
a segment identification component that identifies segment boundaries within an interval of input streams for a plurality of transcoding pipelines;a transcoding component that transcodes the input streams of the plurality of transcoding pipelines; anda segmentation component that segments the input streams into equivalent chunks based on the segment boundaries identified, wherein the input streams include different transcode qualities.
